Interested in Serving a Meal Instead of a Snack in Your After School Program? Now You Can!

If you are an After School Education and Safety (ASES) or 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) program, you can now offer a complete meal instead of a snack to students in your programs!

ASES and 21st CCLC programs are currently required to serve a snack that meets California nutrition standards.  See the instructions below, which explain how to meet the snack requirement (including the nutrition standards) when serving a meal instead of a snack.
